#045, Herewith [words excised] to countersign it
Swami Vivekananda wrote to Ms. Christina Greenstidel from Boston, on the 22nd March 1896. "... Herewith [words excised] to countersign it and put it [words excised]. I am afraid I have made a mistake in writing Miss to your name. In that case you will have to sign also as Miss etc. ..." BLOGGER'S VIEWS *What could be this document which needed countersignature? *Why words in brackets were excised? *What is wrong in writing Miss to a name? *Was she Mrs.? *Why did Vivekananda sign it? *Vivekananda's devotees say that his relationship with Ms. Christina is that of a father and daughter. If so, could this document be an adoption deed? If Vivekananda made a mistake by writing "Miss" in her name, did he mean that she was Mrs.? If she was a Mrs., can a monk adopt a married woman as daughter?
